Had this problem ever since I got the 480 and the 144hz Freesync monitor.

Black flickering, some games it is intense (DOOM, TOXIKK), others very manageable. WIth Rocket League I leave the FPS cap at 103 fps and I get zero flicker.

I have tried many cables with varying effect. The two best cables I have perform identically (as described above). I believe this to be the cause of many 144hz issues on OTHER systems, as 1440p @ 144hz is more demanding than most (even 4k @ 60hz), but I think I can rule it out. (maybe?)

CS:GO does not seem to get better when I adjust the framerate, although I may be doing it incorrectly.

I have updated to the latest drivers and used DDU to do each upgrade.

I don't expect to find a fix for this, just letting AMD know I'm out there.

Had the same problem recently, but with black screen and flickering even in idle. Tried to completly remove drivers, even going back to windows stock drivers, with fail. Complete reinstall of windows 10 didn't work either. Seems for my case it was a bad displayport in my GPU (Msi RX 480 Gaming 8gb). I recently tried switching ports in the Graphics card and havn't seen any flicker or black screen yet, will give it about a week of testing and will be sending my card back if i can confirm that this is truly the problem.

Worth mentioning I just upgraded to the newest drivers and still have the problems. They seem to have improved slightly, as the flicker doesn't start until higher FPS than before (103 before, now it's more around 150).

I have exactly the same problem. since I have my new 144 hz monitor i have this problem. but only with freesync on. when I deactivate freesync flickering removes directly. thoght maybe it is because of my new monitor the acer xz271. but with the lenovo y27f i have exactly the same flickering. on my old samsung monitor with freesync range 48-75 i had absolutly no flickering. so it cant be the cables fault. i think it is about the large freesync range of 48-144 hz or freesync @ 144hz that causes the problem.

I made a clean deinstallation with DDU but didnt help. ive tried several drivers 16.10.3 and the newest 16.12.2 and with both i had flickering. whats wrong here?anybody a solution?

I have the rx480 8GB card and it keeps flickering non stop when I have my 4K TV plugged in at only 60hz (no freesync). When I set it to 50hz it runs fine but with 30 fps and when I try to set it at 59hz it still flickers. Just got the newest driver update too (17.2.1) so I'm at a loss.
